I have installed openSuse 11 (KDE 4) on my machine and the problem I am facing is that I can't get the appropriate resolution for my monitor.
The monitor is : LG194WT and the graphic card is : Intel 82810E
The best resolution I have been able to get is 800 x 768.
Running SAX tells me that the monitor is unknown. I have a driver disk that came with the monitor and when I select the appropriate model from the list and choose the resolution I want, trying to either save the config or test causes the system to hang. On rebooting, after I login I am logged out immediately.
I installed Fedora 9 (?) with KDE 4, and everything worked fine, no dramas at all. I would really love to have opensuse running on my machine. Can anyone please advise where shall I start in order to get this fixed.
Open sax2 in runlevel 3. An easy way to get to runlevel 3, in case you're not familiar with runlevels, is on the graphical boot screen, append 3 on the kernel line before entering. In sax2, select first generic LCD 1440x900, then set size to 19", then set resolution to 1440x900. Skip testing from within sax2. Just save, then try going to runlevel 5 via init 5 or telinit 5.
Did that. SAX again hanged on trying to save.
If for some reason this doesn't work, check in /etc/xorg.conf which driver is in use. If intel, try switching to i810, or vice versa, but I think i810 is now obsolete and causes intel to be used instead.
The driver was "intel" and I changed it to "i810".
Doing the above mentioned things haven't helped. I still get logged out immediately on logging in.
More things to try: 1-save the original first, then edit the xorg.conf file created by sax2 (if there is one at all) and comment by putting "#" at the start of the line the line containing "UseModes" 2-if your kernel line contains a vga= parameter, remove it, reboot to runlevel 3, startx 3-if your kernel line contains no vga=parameter, add vga=0x120, reboot to runlevel 3, startx 4-try saving http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/xorg.conf.07-1440x900x089x16bpp-i810 as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Before starting X using it, check to see if the BusID matches your lspci output, and adjust if necessary. 5-If you can find the complete specs for your display, check to make sure the HorizSync and VertRefresh used in xorg.conf match. 6-Using search string "i810" in comments field and xorg as product, search Novell's Bugzilla for possible solutions or workarounds I may not remember. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?"
